Upcoming Hyundai i20 Vs 2020 Hyundai Verna - Which is better?

A few days ago, the upcoming Hyundai i20 was spotted conducting test runs. With this, it has once again created a lot of buzz in the premium hatchback segment. It is expected that this premium hatchback will be launched somewhere around the festive season or the end of 2020. With the latest updates on the upcoming Hyundai i20, we at MyNewCar have brought to you a comparison between the 2020 Hyundai Verna which was launched a few months ago in India.

 

Dimensions and Design

The upcoming Hyundai i20 will be a sub 4m premium hatchback. It will be offered with a longer wheelbase as compared to the ongoing model. This will indeed provide the upcoming i20 with a spacious cabin than before. On the other hand, as the New Hyundai Verna is a C-segment sedan it is longer than the upcoming premium hatchback. The 2020 Verna also could be shorter in height and have a low ground clearance as well which can be confirmed once further details on the upcoming i20 are revealed.

When it comes to the design aspect, Hyundai is developing the upcoming i20 on the global spec model. From the latest spy images, we get to know that this premium hatchback will be offered with a wrap-around LED tail lamps with Z shaped design elements, sporty design language and an aggressive front end with a sleek headlamp setup. As compared to the previous model, the whole design language will be revamped offering a much more sporty feel.

Coming to the all-new Verna which was launched some months back looks very sporty and premium as compared to its predecessor. It now offers a completely revamped design language. It gets a newly designed front bumper, new LED headlamp unit and a larger cascading front grille giving the elegant feeling. On the other hand, this C-Segment now runs on a 16-inch dual-tone diamond cut alloy wheel and it gets the LED taillamps unit inspired from the Elantra hence offering a sporty feel. Overall, the upcoming i20 will be developed keeping in mind a youth experience, whereas the Verna feels premium and offers a balance of sportiness and elegance.
 

Interior and Features

Stepping inside the upcoming Hyundai i20, you will feel that the cabin will be roomier than before, due to the longer wheelbase. The entire layout of the cabin and dashboard design will be revamped. It will be similar to the global spec model with the digital dials, running air vents and the new design steering wheel. In terms of features and technology, Hyundai will be equipping this upcoming hatchback with automatic climate control, cruise control, wireless charging and Hyundai Blue Link car connected technology. It will be getting the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay which will be larger than the 8-inch infotainment unit as seen on the 2020 Verna. Overall the larger touchscreen infotainment unit will uplift the cabin feel on the upcoming i20 and will also offer a very modern and futuristic design.

 

Moving inside the cabin of the all-new Hyundai Verna, the first thing you will notice is the comfort and premium fit and finish it offers. With this, It offers good space and the legroom at the rear is sufficient enough. Being a C-segment sedan, the New Verna offers good boot space, which when compared to the upcoming i20 will be larger as the latter is a premium hatchback. In terms of modern features and technology, Hyundai offers the New Verna with many first in segments elements. It comes equipped with Arkamys sound system, tyre pressure monitoring system, all-digital instrument cluster, sunroof, wireless charging, front ventilated seats, Blue Link car connected technology and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment unit which is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Power	83 bhp / 120 bhp	120 bhp / 115 bhp
Torque	115 Nm / 172 Nm	172 Nm / 144 Nm
Transmission	5 MT or IVT Auto / iMT or DCT	7 DCT / 6 MT - CVT
Drivetrain	FWD	FWD

It is expected that Hyundai will be offering the upcoming i20 with the 1.2-litre petrol unit which also powers the Venue. It will be offered with the option of a 5-speed manual gearbox and IVT automatic gearbox as an option. Hyundai will most likely also offer the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine but it will miss out on a manual transmission. On the other hand, it will be coupled to the iMT and DCT gearbox options as seen on the Hyundai Venue. 

The all-new Verna gets the option for two petrol engines to choose from - a 1.0-litre turbo unit and 1.5-litre unit. The turbocharged petrol engine is the highlight on both the cars as it is very powerful and it also gets a DCT gearbox. The all new Verna gets paddle shifters with this powertrain. Unlike the all new Verna, the upcoming i20 will get the option of an iMT gearbox along with the DCT gearbox.

Whereas the 1.5-litre petrol engine is much more powerful than the 1.2-litre petrol engine that will power the upcoming i20. On the other hand, the 1.5 litre Verna gets the option between a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT. 

 

Diesel

	Upcoming Hyundai i20	2020 Hyundai Verna
Engine	1.5 litre	1.5 litre
Power	99 bhp	115 bhp
Torque	240 Nm	250 Nm
Transmission	6 MT	6 MT / 6 AT
Drivetrain	FWD	FWD

Hyundai powers the diesel model 2020 Verna with a 1.5-litre unit. It is also expected that the Korean car manufacturer will power the upcoming i20 with a 1.5-litre unit as well but in a different state of tune. As the upcoming i20 will borrow the powertrain from the Venue, the power output will be less and it will only be offered with a manual transmission. On the other hand, Hyundai offers a much more powerful diesel motor with the option between a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
